We feel blessed and grateful to be having another boy

Marnie Simpson and Casey Johnson share their happy news, talk birth preparations and update us on their wedding plans

- ELLIE KIRWIN-JONES

Reality stars Marnie Simpson and Casey Johnson exclusively told new back in November that they were expecting another child, a sibling for their two-year-old son Rox. Now, in our gorgeous new shoot, the couple, who met in 2017 while filming MTV’s Single AF, reveal Marnie is having another boy.

The Geordie Shore star, who got engaged to Casey in 2020, cannot contain her glee when she talks about giving Rox a brother.

“I would have loved a sister when I was younger, and I love thinking about how they’re going to be best friends forever,” an excited Marnie, 30, tells us. And Casey, 26, says he can’t wait for the day when he’ll be watching footie on a Sunday afternoon with his two sons.

But although the couple are over the moon about their growing family, Marnie admits she wishes they’d waited to find out the baby’s gender, in case he’s their last one.

“It feels like we’ve missed out on our chance to have the big surprise at the end,” she says.

It’s been a tough time for Marnie, who’s due this summer – she’s been open about her battle with sickness throughout the majority of her second pregnancy. She also says that following her traumatic first birth, she’s planning a C-section this time.

Marnie has also been dealing with the stress of their house renovation, but she says Casey has been by her side through it all and they feel lucky to be “living our dream”.

Here, the couple open up about choosing their second baby’s name, walking down the aisle and finally getting their happy ending…

Congratulations, guys! How are you both feeling about sharing your news?
